Henry V
by William Shakespeare
Henry V is the most famous and influential of the plays in Shakespeare's history. His strong patriotic rhetoric resonated for centuries and gained meaningful expression in Lawrence Olivier's famous film. The clever and charismatic Henry himself, who led the "group of brothers" to victory at the Battle of Agincourt, may indeed seem like "this star of England." In recent years, the game has received more and more critical attention and is now very controversial.
